Alone and without any skills, support or families, the teens find their way to the seedy and foreign world of Downtown Eastside Vancouver, where they cling together, striving to find a place of safety and belonging in a world that doesn't want them. The paths of the five friends cross and crisscross over the decades as they struggle to overcome, or at least forget, the trauma they endured during their years at the Mission. Fueled by rage and furious with God, Clara finds her way into the dangerous, highly charged world of the American Indian Movement. Maisie internalizes her pain and continually places herself in dangerous situations. Famous for his daring escapes from the school, Kenny can't stop running and moves restlessly from job to job -- through fishing grounds, orchards and logging camps -- trying to outrun his memories and his addiction. Lucy finds peace in motherhood and nurtures a secret compulsive disorder as she waits for Kenny to return to the life they once hoped to share together. After almost beating one of his tormentors to death, Howie serves time in prison, then tries once again to re-enter society and begin life anew. With compassion and insight, Five Little Indians chronicles the desperate quest of these residential school survivors to come to terms with their past and, ultimately, find a way forward." --]]></description><link>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C128102311</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C128102311</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Good, Michelle]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/128102311049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781443459181/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Five Little Indians]]></title><description><![CDATA[WINNER: Canada Reads 2022  WINNER: Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction  WINNER: Amazon First Novel Award  WINNER: Kobo Emerging Author Prize   Finalist: Scotiabank Giller Prize  Finalist: Atwood Gibson Writers Trust Prize  Finalist: BC &amp; Yukon Book Prize  Shortlist: Indigenous Voices Awards  National Bestseller; A Globe and Mail Top 100 Book of the Year; A CBC Best Book of the Year; An Apple Best Book of the Year; A Kobo Best Book of the Year; An Indigo Best Book of the Year  Taken from their families when they are very small and sent to a remote, church-run residential school, Kenny, Lucy, Clara, Howie and Maisie are barely out of childhood when they are finally released after years of detention.

Truth Telling also demonstrates the myths underlying Canadian history and the human cost of colonialism, showing how it continues to underpin modern social institutions in Canada.Passionate and uncompromising, Michelle Good affirms that meaningful and substantive reconciliation hinges on recognition of Indigenous self-determination, the return of lands, and a just redistribution of the wealth that has been taken from those lands without regard for Indigenous peoples.Truth Telling is essential reading for those looking to acknowledge the past and understand the way forward.]]></description><link>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C128709109</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C128709109</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Good, Michelle]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/128709109049</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>Seven Conversations About Indigenous Life in Canada</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781443467858/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keetsahnak]]></title><description><![CDATA["In Keetsahnak / Our Murdered and Missing Indigenous Sisters, the tension between personal, political, and public action is brought home starkly. This important collective volume both witnesses the significance of the travelling exhibition Walking With Our Sisters and creates a model for antiviolence work from an Indigenous perspective. The contributors look at the roots of violence and how it diminishes life for all. They acknowledge the destruction wrought by colonial violence, and also look at controversial topics such as lateral violence, challenges in working with "tradition," and problematic notions involved in "helping." Through stories of resilience, resistance, and activism, the editors give voice to powerful personal testimony and allow for the creation of knowledge."--]]></description><link>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C119702035</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C119702035</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/119702035049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Sisters</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781772123678/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Best Canadian Essays 2023]]></title><description><![CDATA[Selected by editor Mireille Silcoff, the 2023 edition of Best Canadian Essays showcases the best Canadian nonfiction writing published in 2021.]]></description><link>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C128465898</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C128465898</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/128465898049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781771965033/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
